J-1 exchange visitors in Short-Term Scholar and Research Scholar/Professor categories may participate in occasional lectures and short-term consultations at off-campus locations. Scholars must obtain prior written authorization from their I-Center Advisor. Such lectures and consultations should not interfere with the activities of the exchange visitor's program. The term occasional is generally understood to refer to single events rather than an ongoing activity.
Note: If you have already started the process of requesting J-1 employment authorization, do not start a new one. Please go to your User Home Page to continue working on your request.
